Why is it feminine?
Armoire is feminine because it derives from the Latin "armarium" (a cabinet or chest for storing arms/armor). Although Latin "armarium" was masculine (second declension), it was reanalyzed in Old French as feminine, likely due to the influence of the productive suffix "-oire" which typically produces feminine nouns in French. This represents a gender shift from Latin to French, where the suffix pattern became more influential than the original Latin gender.
